yeah yeah yeah... don't want to hear it.
server was offline due to a billing issue with my datacenter. basically, they forgot to finish the billing process for my credit card (auth'ed my card 3 weeks ago, but never put the final charge through) and shut the server off for non-payment. Seems to be straightened out now.
I swear, sometimes this hosting thing is more of a hassle than it's worth. Especially since I'm not doing enough hosting to cover the bills anymore. sigh... Anyhow, it's running fine now, shouldn't have that problem for another 12 months. ;D
